<br />nearest one-half foot, and shown as a three-digit code. For e~ample, <br />if the difference between water-surface elevations of the 10- and <br />100-year floods is 0.7 foot, the FHF is 005; if the difference is 1.4 <br />feet, the FHF is 015; if the difference is 5.0 feet, the FHF is 050. <br />When the difference between the 10- and 100-year water-surface <br />el evations ; s greater than 10.0 feet, accuracy for the FHF is to the <br />nearest foot. <br /> <br />5.3 Flood Insurance Zones <br /> <br />After the determination of reaches and their respective Flood Hazard <br />Factors, the entire incorporated area of the City of Salida was <br />divided into zones, each having a specific flood potential or hazard. <br />Each zone was assigned one of the following flood insurance zone <br />designations: <br /> <br />Zone A: <br /> <br />Special Flood Hazard Areas inundated by <br />the laO-year flood, determined by <br />appro~imate methods; no base flood <br />elevations shown or Flood Hazard Factors <br />determined. <br /> <br />Zone AI: <br /> <br />Special Flood Hazard Areas inundated by <br />the IOO-year flood, determined by <br />detailed methods; base flood elevations <br />shown, and zones subdi vi ded accordi ng to <br />Flood Hazard Factors. <br /> <br />Zone B: <br /> <br />Areas between the Special Flood Hazard <br />Areas and the limits of the SOD-year <br />flood, incl uding areas of the SOD-year <br />flood plain that are protected from the <br />lOO-year fl ood by dike, levee, or other <br />water control structure; al so areas <br />subject to certain types of lOa-year <br />shallow flooding where depths are less <br />than 1.0 foot; and areas SUbject to <br />laO-year fl oodi ng from sources wi th <br />drainage areas less than 1 square mile. <br />Zone B is not subdivided. <br /> <br />Zone C: <br /> <br />Areas of minimal flooding. <br /> <br />The fl ood elevation differences, Flood Hazard Factors, fl ood insur- <br />ance zones, and base flood elevations for each flooding source <br />studied in detail in the community are summarized in Table 3. <br /> <br />5.4 Flood Insurance Rate Map Description <br /> <br />The Flood Insurance Rate Map for the City of Salida is, for insurance <br />purposes, the principal result of the Flood Insurance Study.
